[Marketing] SoaS Creation Kit

[Sean DALY]

This is a great idea.

Sugar faces two huge barriers to adoption: the installation barrier
and the unfamiliarity barrier.

A kit which lowers both of these barriers, even somewhat, will make a
difference.

A one or two page PDF explaining how to get started with be a big step forward.

Sean.
